More than five years after Prince Andrew defended his friendship with the convicted paedophile Jeffery Epstein on national TV, there are still questions over whether he took part in the abuse of young women.
The prince has denied allegations in Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir that he had sex with her three times. But he has announced that he will no longer call himself the Duke of York or use “the honours which have been conferred upon me”.
It shouldn’t be up to him.
Right now, it takes an Act of parliament to strip people of their titles and honours, no matter what they’ve done.
Rachael Maskell MP wants to make it quicker to remove honours when they are no longer deserved. And she’s asked for our support.
It’s time for us to come together and demand that MPs back this law and strip Andrew of his dukedom.
Fill in the form to add your voice. Tell your MP that we need to make sure no-one hangs on to titles and honours they don’t deserve.
